Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"Then kill them in—"

Taixuan Sword Master's sword robe moved without wind, and the sword energy around him suddenly condensed into solid white frost, and he spoke in a stern voice.

"This is the only way! Right now, the Ghost Realm has just invaded the Demon Abyss and is still being suppressed by the Demon Abyss' will. Now is the best time to force our way in!" The white beard of the Starry Sky Patriarch moved without wind, and the stars in his eyes turned upside down. He said in a deep voice: "However, the Immortal Demon God and the Black Eagle Demon God may have become the minions of the Ghost Realm. We need more like-minded people to help us!"

Hearing this, Taixuan Sword Master frowned, feeling that the situation was quite tricky: "Tianfeng is recovering from his injuries, Yulin suddenly chose to go into seclusion, and the whereabouts of the old loach of the Qing Emperor are unknown. The helpers that can be found at the moment are really limited."

"Qingdi, I know his whereabouts. I will ask him to come out of the mountain." A star jade slip flew out from the sleeve of Xingqiong Patriarch, and a vast star map was drawn in the void: "However, even with him, I am afraid it is not enough to suppress the power of the strange world!"

Taixuan Sword Master's eyes flashed like lightning: "Who else is missing?"

“Go and see if you can persuade these three people.” The Starry Sky Patriarch pointed his fingertips at three places on the star map, and suddenly three golden lights shot up into the sky.

"The holy monk Mingxin of Daguang Temple - his Vajra-indestructible Buddha body can resist the erosion of evil spirits; in the Thunder Abyss of the Western Extreme, the Lord of Thunder Prison who cultivates - his Nine Heavens Divine Thunder can destroy evil spirits; in the depths of the Nanli Volcano, the immortal master Burning Heaven who is in seclusion - his pure Yang true fire can burn away the evil fog."

After a pause, Xingqiong Patriarch added with a bit of a headache: "However, these three have been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years..., so it's not that easy to invite them!"

"This is a matter of life and death for the three realms. If they still hide away from the world, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!" Taixuan Sword Master raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the sword case behind him trembled continuously.

Hearing this, Xingqiong Patriarch gave a bitter smile. Seeing that Taixuan Sword Master's sword intent was soaring into the sky, he was afraid that he would be too angry and cause trouble, so he quickly advised: "Sword Master, wait! Here are the tokens left by three Taoist friends in the past, which may help you."

As he spoke, the Starry Sky Patriarch spread out his sleeves, and three spiritual objects emerged in the starlight, all floating towards Taixuan Sword Master:
A gilded Buddhist seal fell first, with the seal knob carved with eight-treasure lotus, and faint Sanskrit sounds could be heard;
A purple lightning symbol followed closely behind, with tiny flashes of electricity dancing on its surface and occasional thunderclaps.
The last one is a red jade token, which is crystal clear and seems to have magma flowing inside.

Taixuan Sword Master frowned slightly, but still reached out to take it. The moment he got the three tokens in his hands, the sharp sword energy around him unconsciously softened a little.

"This is..." Taixuan Sword Master lightly stroked the lotus pattern on the Buddhist seal with his fingertips, revealing a rare hint of reminiscence.

The Starry Sky Patriarch took the opportunity to persuade: "The Holy Monk Mingxin saw Foyin as if he saw an old friend, the Lord of Thunder Prison values ​​trust and promise the most, the Immortal Lord Fentian..." He paused at this point and lowered his voice and said: "Especially that one, the Sword Lord must not force it."

Taixuan Sword Master snorted coldly, and with a thought, he solemnly put the three tokens into the sword box: "I know what to do."

Taixuan Sword Master turned around and looked at Xingqiong Patriarch, "You stay here to preside over the situation, I will go there myself."

"Where is Sword Master going first?" asked the Starry Sky Patriarch hurriedly.

Taixuan Sword Master's eyes swept across the three tokens, and finally fixed on the red jade token: "Of course, I will go meet the old stubborn man with the most stubborn temper first."

Before he finished speaking, the man turned into a ray of sword light and flew away, leaving only a sword mark that cut through the sea of ​​clouds.

Starry Sky Patriarch looked at the sword light going away, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I hope that old fellow Fentian still remembers the friendship we had back then..."

After watching Taixuan Sword Master leave, Patriarch Xingqiong turned to face the cultivators present. The eyes of the Mahayana cultivators from the three realms were all focused on him, waiting for instructions.

"My fellow Taoists."

The Starry Sky Patriarch lightly tapped the air with the Star Staff in his hand, and suddenly 360 phantoms of stars emerged, forming a mysterious formation outside the Demon Abyss Passage: "I will immediately set up the Zhouxing Banning Formation to temporarily prevent the evil spirit from spreading out of the Demon Abyss Passage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Starry Sky Ancestor snapped his fingers, and seven Jade Nails sank into the void nebula. In an instant, the galaxy turned upside down, and the shadows of the celestial stars appeared around the Demon Abyss passage.

"This formation is centered on the Big Dipper. Each of you should guard your life palace."

The old voice of the Starry Sky Ancestor wrapped in starlight reached everyone's ears, and they saw the shadows of the twenty-eight constellations light up one after another, suppressing the boiling evil energy back into the Demon Abyss.

"Please ask the two fellow Taoists, Tianxuan and Tianji, to maintain the core of the formation." The Xingqiong Patriarch looked at Qi Xuanming and Qin Feng, the two Mahayana cultivators, and made arrangements.

Qi Xuanming and Qin Feng looked at each other, then made hand gestures and rose up at the same time. Two streams of powerful spiritual power were injected into the star array. Tianxuan and Tianji suddenly shone brightly. Shadows of mountains and rivers appeared behind Qin Feng. The Yin-Yang Tai Chi was suspended above Qi Xuanming's head, reflecting the power of the stars.

The Starry Sky Patriarch turned to the four demon lords again, and with a light tap of the Star Staff, four star tracks were separated: "Please guard the four directions."

The four demon lords nodded silently, and each occupied the positions of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Surprisingly, there was no conflict between the demonic energy and the star power, but instead a delicate balance was formed in the formation.

"Daoyou Taixu." The Starry Sky Patriarch looked at the old man who was about to die. Before he finished speaking, Immortal Taixu rose into the air with a loud laugh.

Taixu Immortal Lord laughed loudly and said, "This old man's broken body should be used as a blade. Leave the center of Zhou Xing's Sealing Array to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light suddenly surged around Immortal Lord Taixu, and it actually turned into a golden bridge that spanned the center of the star array.

"Please help me guard this place together. I will be back soon!"

When the Starry Sky Patriarch saw the formation was initially completed, he immediately turned into a starry rainbow and broke through the sky. The star map in his hand flickered, pointing the way to the fairyland - Lingxu - that was the ancestral land of the Qinglong clan, and it was also the result of his calculations, the final resting place of the Qing Emperor.

The Starry Sky Patriarch controlled the power of the stars, passed through the heavy sea of ​​clouds, and rushed towards the Lingxu land. The Lingxu land was a forbidden area in the fairy world, shrouded in green mist all year round, and ordinary cultivators could not get close at all.

Deep in the Lingxu area, green mist surged like waves. The Starry Sky Ancestor tapped the ground with his star staff. Eight trigrams patterns appeared under his feet. The star jade slip in his hand burst out with green light, illuminating the shadow of a giant green dragon in the sea of ​​fog.

"Old turtle! You've come at the right time! I have been looking for you for thousands of years, but I didn't expect you to come to my door on your own!" The shadow of a giant green dragon tumbled in the sea of ​​fog, and in a blink of an eye it turned into an old man in a green robe who walked into the air and appeared in front of the Starry Sky Ancestor. He eagerly grabbed his arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

The Green Emperor's hand clamped the Starry Sky Patriarch's wrist like a dragon's claw, and his knuckles shone like jade scales: "For three thousand years, you have avoided me like a snake or a scorpion." He opened his other hand, and seven tortoise shells appeared in his palm, each of which was engraved with a request for star deduction. "You refused to help even with the most basic astrological calculations."

The white beard of the Starry Sky Patriarch trembled slightly, and the Star Staff in his hand unconsciously lowered: "Daoyou, the hexagram of that year..." "I know the prophecy of 'the bloodline of the Azure Dragon is cut off, and the righteousness of heaven and earth will decline'." The Green Emperor urged unwillingly: "However, the world will always have a glimmer of hope. Now that so many years have passed,... there will definitely be changes again!"

As he spoke, the Green Emperor suddenly turned his palm and offered up a bronze hexagram plate. Twenty-seven of the twenty-eight constellations on the plate were extinguished, with only the Jiao constellation still having a faint light. "But you see--"

In the center of the hexagram disk, a strand of dragon energy like green silk was wandering around Jiao Su. Xingqiong Patriarch's pupils suddenly shrank: "This is..."

"Three days ago, the Jiao constellation suddenly became bright." The face of the Green Emperor, which was covered with dragon patterns, showed hope. "I spent a thousand years of my life to re-lay out the Zhoutian hexagrams, and finally made some discoveries..."

The Green Emperor suddenly pressed the hexagram plate into the sea of ​​fog, and a vast star map suddenly appeared in the entire Lingxu.

The Starry Sky Ancestor sucked in a breath of cold air, only to see that the Azure Dragon star track, which should have been cut off, actually extended a ray of hope in the direction of the Demon Abyss. What was even more shocking was that this new star track overlapped with the star force of the great catastrophe, and the divine trend it contained was also obscured by some unpredictable force.

“Impossible!” The Starry Sky Patriarch almost dropped his Star Staff. “The bloodline of the Azure Dragon Clan has been established thousands of years ago. How could…, how could there be such a turn of events!”

Having said that, the Starry Sky Ancestor suddenly realized something, and then looked at the Green Emperor embarrassedly. This was also the reason why he had been avoiding the Green Emperor for thousands of years.

However, the Green Emperor was full of joy, and was completely unaware of the embarrassment of the Starry Sky Ancestor. He clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light: "Old Turtle, did you see it? This is God's will! The Green Dragon clan still has a bloodline surviving in the world. Our thousand years of waiting and pursuit have not been in vain!"

The Starry Sky Patriarch smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling mixed emotions. Behind this sudden turn of events, perhaps there were more complicated causes and effects and crises hidden. However, looking at the Green Emperor's excitement, it was really hard for him to pour cold water on him.

“My old friend, although there is a ray of hope, it coincides with the star of great catastrophe, and the danger is hard to predict. However, it is indeed a great joy that the Azure Dragon bloodline can be reborn and continue!” The Starry Sky Patriarch stroked his beard and said happily for him.

Upon hearing this, the Green Emperor raised a resolute smile: "Danger? My Green Dragon clan has never been afraid of danger! After thousands of years of wind and rain, I have been waiting for this moment. Old turtle, I need you to do me a favor."

Xingqiong Patriarch was startled. He already knew what Qingdi wanted, but he deliberately asked, "Oh? What is it?"

The Green Emperor looked at the Starry Sky Ancestor with a sharp gaze: "Deducing the exact whereabouts of the Green Dragon's bloodline, I will personally go to find this last strand of bloodline. No matter where he is, I will bring him back and revive the power of the Green Dragon clan!"

The Starry Sky Patriarch pondered for a moment, flicking his white beard, with a complex look in his eyes: "This matter concerns the Azure Dragon Clan, I will not stand idly by, but I also have a favor to ask."

The Green Emperor frowned slightly, but he also expected that the Starry Sky Ancestor would not put forward conditions for no reason: "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

The Starry Sky Patriarch looked solemn and said slowly: "The catastrophe has happened again, and the strange world has invaded the Demon Abyss. If it is not suppressed early, it may lead to a disaster. I am willing to help you deduce the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Vein, but you also need to promise me that you will help me suppress the strange world afterwards."

Hearing this, the Green Emperor frowned, he had a slight sense of the invasion of the Ghost Realm. If he wanted to suppress it, the hidden danger would be difficult to estimate. But then he thought, the revival of the Green Dragon clan was closely related to the righteousness of heaven and earth. If the danger of the Ghost Realm was not resolved, the Green Dragon clan would also suffer in the future.

So, the Green Emperor nodded resolutely: "Okay! I promise you, when I find the remains of the Green Dragon, I will definitely help you suppress the strange world!"

Seven shiny tortoise shells slid out from the sleeves of the Starry Sky Patriarch. The naturally formed star patterns on the shells echoed the twenty-eight constellations on the dome. Upon seeing this, the Green Emperor immediately retreated three steps, and the dragon energy built a barrier between the two of them - the deduction of the will of heaven should not be interfered with by external forces.

"A Taoist star armor weapon that hasn't been seen in three thousand years." The Green Emperor looked at the tortoise shell formation diagram floating in the air, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms. It was this set of tortoise shells that the Starry Sky Ancestor used to deduce the prophecy that plunged the Green Dragon clan into despair.

The old man bit his tongue and spurted out blood. His tortoise shell immediately turned into a stream of light and sank into the void. In an instant, all the star sands of the Ten Thousand Stars Platform floated in the air at the same time, interweaving into a miniature map of the Zhoutian stars above the two people's heads. The ten fingers of the Star Dome Ancestor flew like plucking the strings of a musical instrument, and the vibration of each star thread aroused layers of ripples of Taoism.

"Tianshu leads the way, Yaoguang determines the whereabouts!"

The third tortoise shell suddenly turned over, and the projected starlight twisted into a vortex in the direction of the Demon Abyss. The white hair of the Star Dome Ancestor moved without wind, light golden sweat beads oozed from his forehead, and his pupils showed nebulae. He was displaying the innate magical power of the Star Turtle clan.

As the Starry Sky Ancestor used his innate magical power, the starlight that had twisted into a vortex gradually condensed and turned into a long, thin band of light, pointing to a certain place. The Green Emperor stared at the band of light intently, with an indescribable excitement and anticipation welling up in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the Starry Sky Patriarch slowly withdrew his magic power and stopped deducing the secrets of heaven. His deep eyes flashed with a mixture of fatigue and satisfaction.

"How is it, old friend?"

Qingdi couldn't wait to ask. Although he tried to stay calm, the trembling in his voice betrayed his current mood.

"You have seen the results of the deduction, so why ask me again!" The Starry Sky Patriarch asked back angrily.

"How much of your lifespan has been lost?" The Green Emperor quickly stretched out his hand and lightly pressed on the back of the Starry Sky Ancestor, feeling the turbulent flow of stars in the other's meridians. The star power that should have been gentle was now like barbs, rushing through the Starry Sky Ancestor's internal organs. He quickly helped to heal his injuries and said apologetically.

"More than a hundred years!" After recovering from his injuries, the old ancestor Xingqiong glared at the Green Emperor and revealed: "The secret of the noble family's bloodline is obscured by the Great Dao, so it is difficult to spy on its traces. However, I have some guesses."

"Old friend!" The Green Emperor called out anxiously and continued anxiously.

"Well, the backlash from this deduction is very similar to the last time I deduced the practitioners of the Chaos Avenue. If nothing unexpected happens, the descendants of the nobles should have a close relationship with it!" A hint of depth flashed in the eyes of the Starry Sky Ancestor, and he responded with a smile.

Hearing this, the Green Emperor's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said anxiously: "Do you know the whereabouts of this Chaos Avenue practitioner? This emperor wants to see him!"

The Starry Sky Patriarch shook his head and said solemnly, "The cultivator of the Chaos Avenue is the most mysterious existence in the world. His whereabouts are erratic and difficult to grasp. I met him by chance last time, but now I cannot determine his exact location. However, he is definitely not in the Immortal Spirit Realm, but in the Spirit Realm. The many forces in the Spirit Realm should know his whereabouts. Just follow me to the Spirit Realm first."

"Walk."

The Green Emperor only said one word, and the surging aura showed his impatient attitude at the moment.

The Starry Sky Patriarch heaved a sigh of relief, tapped the Star Staff in his hand, and a path of starlight spread out under the feet of the two, leading directly to the direction of the spirit world. (End of this chapter)
